Psalm 51

1 Have mercy on me, O God, according to your unfailing love; according to your great compassion blot out my transgressions.

1 Be merciful to me, O God, because of your constant love. Because of your great mercy wipe away my sins!

2 Wash away all my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin.

2 Wash away all my evil and make me clean from my sin!

3 For I know my transgressions, and my sin is always before me.

3 I recognize my faults; I am always conscious of my sins.

4 Against you, you only, have I sinned and done what is evil in your sight; so you are right in your verdict and justified when you judge.

4 I have sinned against you - only against you - and done what you consider evil. So you are right in judging me; you are justified in condemning me.

5 Surely I was sinful at birth, sinful from the time my mother conceived me.

5 I have been evil from the day I was born; from the time I was conceived, I have been sinful.

6 Yet you desired faithfulness even in the womb; you taught me wisdom in that secret place.

6 Sincerity and truth are what you require; fill my mind with your wisdom.

7 Cleanse me with hyssop, and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.

7 Remove my sin, and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.

8 Let me hear joy and gladness; let the bones you have crushed rejoice.

8 Let me hear the sounds of joy and gladness; and though you have crushed me and broken me, I will be happy once again.

9 Hide your face from my sins and blot out all my iniquity.

9 Close your eyes to my sins and wipe out all my evil.

10 Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.

10 Create a pure heart in me, O God, and put a new and loyal spirit in me.

11 Do not cast me from your presence or take your Holy Spirit from me.

11 Do not banish me from your presence; do not take your holy spirit away from me.

12 Restore to me the joy of your salvation and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me.

12 Give me again the joy that comes from your salvation, and make me willing to obey you.

13 Then I will teach transgressors your ways, so that sinners will turn back to you.

13 Then I will teach sinners your commands, and they will turn back to you.

14 Deliver me from the guilt of bloodshed, O God, you who are God my Savior, and my tongue will sing of your righteousness.

14 Spare my life, O God, and save me, and I will gladly proclaim your righteousness.

15 Open my lips, Lord, and my mouth will declare your praise.

15 Help me to speak, Lord, and I will praise you.

16 You do not delight in sacrifice, or I would bring it; you do not take pleasure in burnt offerings.

16 You do not want sacrifices, or I would offer them; you are not pleased with burnt offerings.

17 My sacrifice, O God, is a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart you, God, will not despise.

17 My sacrifice is a humble spirit, O God; you will not reject a humble and repentant heart.

18 May it please you to prosper Zion, to build up the walls of Jerusalem.

18 O God, be kind to Zion and help her; rebuild the walls of Jerusalem.

19 Then you will delight in the sacrifices of the righteous, in burnt offerings offered whole; then bulls will be offered on your altar.

19 Then you will be pleased with proper sacrifices and with our burnt offerings; and bulls will be sacrificed on your altar.
